Micky van de Ven is now a key player at Tottenham and here is everything you need to know about the player, including his salary, age, height and more.
The defender was one of many Tottenham signings in the 2023 summer transfer window, the same summer that manager Ange Postecoglou joined the club. He immediately became a fan favourite, but before he joined the club, he was not well known to those devoted to the Premier League.
Micky van de Ven has a bright future in the game, so with that said, here are all the key details around the centre-back that you should know.
Micky van de Ven birthplace and age
Micky van de Ven is from Holland and he was born in Wormer. This town is located in North Holland and is about 13km away from the capital city of Amsterdam. Unsurprisingly, the defender started his football career in Holland before he made a name for himself.
The centre-back was born 19 April, 2001. This makes Van de Ven only 22 years-old.
Micky van de Ven career stats
The Dutch defender has played for three football clubs during his senior football career so far, starting in the academy at WSV ’30 Youth. Here are the stats from his career so far, after he moved from this academy side to Volendam Youth.

- Wolfsburg (2021-2023): 41 Appearances, 1 Goal, 3 Assists

How much did Micky van de Ven cost Spurs?
Tottenham signed Van de Ven on the 8th of August 2023 and he was a huge part of their rebuild following the poor 2022/23 campaign. Despite the player still being very young, the North London club spent a big fee on him, costing a total of £34.5m.

Micky van de Ven height
The 22-year-old is 6 feet 4 inches, making him one of the tallest players in the Premier League. It makes him a threat from both offensive and defensive set-pieces.
Micky van de Ven speed
According to The Athletic, the Netherlands international registered a top speed of 23.23 miles per hour in the clash with Brentford in January. That makes him the fastest player in the Premier League for the season.
It’s a useful attribute for Ange Postecoglou to have in his backline, allowing the team to play with such a high line.
